DEFINITIVE RANKING

Philippines, can now boast another distinction: It is the
Selfie Capital of the World. An examination of hundreds
of thousands of selfies—the low-fi, self-shot photographs
that are intensely popular among younger social media
users—suggests that the city, part of metropolitan Manila
and home to 500,000 people, produces more selfies per
capita than any other city in the world.

 REMEMBER!

• ICT is one of the best ways to improve business sales

and it is important for you to know how to use it
your advantage. One advantage is for customers to
share their thoughts with you online, directly on your
web page. That way, the customers would feel that
you are responsive and very open in listening to
their thoughts. But in order to do that, you have to
make your website dynamic.
 WEB 2.0: DYNAMIC WEB PAGES

• When the World Wide Web was invented, most webpages were static.
• Static > (also knows as flat page or stationary page) in the sense that the
page is “as is” and cannot be manipulated by the user. >The content is also
the same for all users. >This referred to asWeb 1.0
 WEB 2.0: DYNAMIC WEB PAGES
• It is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding dynamic web
pages – the user is able to see a website differently than
others.
• It allows users to interact with the page instead of just
reading a page, the user may be able to comment or
create user account.
 WEB 2.0: DYNAMIC WEB PAGES

• It is also allows users to use web browsers instead of just using

their operating system.
• Browsers can now be used for their user interface, application
software (or web applications), and even for file storage.
• Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis,
video sharing sites, hosted services, and web applications.
 FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

• Folksonomy – allows users to categorize and classify/arrange information

using freely chosen keywords (e.g., tagging). Popular social networking sites
such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc. use tags that start with the pound
sign (#). This is also referred to as hashtag.
• Rich User Experience – content is dynamic and is responsive to user’s input. An
example would be a website that shows local content. In the case of social
networking sites, when logged on, your account is used to modify what you see
in their website.
 FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

• User Participation – the owner of the website is not the only one who is able
to put content. Others are able to place a content of their own by means of
comments, reviews, and evaluation. Some websites allow readers to comment
on an article, participate in a poll, or review a specific product. (e.g.,
Amazon.com, online stores.)
 FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

• Long Tail – services that are offered on demand rather than on a one-time
purchase. In certain cases, time-based pricing is better than file-sized pricing
or vice-versa. This is synonyms to subscribing to a data plan that charges you
for the amount of time you spent in the Internet, or a data plan that charges
you for the amount of bandwidth you used.
 FEATURES OF WEB 2.0

• Software as a Service – users will subscribe to a software only when needed

rather than purchasing them. This is a cheaper option if you do not always
need to use a software. Software as a service allows you to “rent” a software
for a minimal fee.
